I would classify Chinese peasants into 3 categories:

1. Peasants in southeast China

This region boasts the best economic conditions, and factories are seen in many a village or town, so peasants could find employment near their home. Salaries plus farmland yields, this group enjoy the most material comfort.

2. Peasants in mid-China

Men leave home for employment opportunities as construction workers, factory workers, etc., in urban areas, while women remain at home working the soil; in some cases both man and wife abandon their land to make a bare living in cities in the hope of saving enough money to return home building a new house and modernizing their furnitures.

3. Peasants in remote mountainous areas in southwest China

The farmland is scarce, so two choices left: farm your pitiable piece of land to scrape by, or leave behind your home to struggle for a better life in a city.

How did the rise of the automobile affect cities and rual areas?

The rise of the automobile significantly transformed both urban and rural areas by enhancing mobility and reshaping infrastructure.

Rural areas benefited from improved access to markets and services, but also faced challenges like diminished local economies due to increased reliance on larger urban centers. Overall, the automobile facilitated greater connectivity but also contributed to urban sprawl and environmental concerns.
